Walking Tour - The Trollopes of Bloomsbury
About this Event
Both Anthony Trollope and his mother Fanny were proliflc and successful writers.
Anthony, born in Bloomsbury is best known for the Barchester Chronicles and Paliser novels where Catherdral towns and country houses often overshadow the place of Bloomsbury. But this area which "cannot be called fashionable" and is "not much overlooked by nobility" offers lodgings and temptation to young clerks like Johnny Eade and affordable accomodation for impoverished women like Lady Anna.
Join Sue to follow the links between Anthony Trollope's own life as a civil servant at the Post Office, his fiction with its Bloomsbury locations and the influence of Fanny Trollope's writing on her son's work.
